Back from a Busy Break

Well, that was a really abrupt and long blogging break.  I really had the best of intentions to blog about why I’d be gone, but life was just so busy that I never got to it.  This is always the busiest time of year for me with the garden exploding and begging for something to be done with it all, school needing to be planned and started, and more.  And this year Colette and I added in a trip to California to attend a wedding.  I’d love to share all 600 pictures with you, but I won’t.  Aren’t you relieved?!?  But here are the highlights…

What happy faces!  The girls were glad to be together again!  They are headed out to feed the horses the morning after we arrived.

Colette helped with the baking for the dessert buffet, making several dozens of her famous chocolate chip cookies.

The beautiful wedding location beneath the spreading canopy of aged oak trees.

All dressed up and ready for the wedding!

After arriving by horse-drawn carriage, the groom’s uncle piped the bride down the aisle!  Such a triumphant entry!

So beautiful!

Man and wife!  What a happy couple!

We felt so blessed to be able to attend this wedding!  Many congratulations to the bride and groom!

More consistent blogging in the days to come, as we settle back into “normal” (whatever that is) around here.
